His Wife Earns Four Times His Salary And Someone Must Resign by menix(m): 7:20pm On Oct 08, 2015
On my way home but this topic came up.

This family have got 2 kids and the kids lack parental care because the man and wife come in late.

The issue of Nanny is out of the option because they don't trust nannies and someone must resign to take care of the kids..

The problem here is that the wife earns four times(400%) the man's salary and the ladies salary goes a long way to sort the family expenses.

Please who do you advise to resign.
Should the man become a house husband

*Thinking*

It is a tough one really. Children needs to be adequately cared for emotionally, etc at the same time the family needs the money....

Ultimately, it is the man's call to provide for his family materially, physically and emotionally.

A tough decision has to be made... cool

The man should resign
Or better still the both of them should retain their jobs and find a way to share the responsibility of taking care of the children.

if the man's salary can comfortably take care of the family without stress then the wife should resign

If not, the husband should resign

This is really difficult. Money is important, parental care is also important. Since they don't want the services of a nanny, they should bring in a niece or a younger sister to help them out. Or are they also scared of that option?

Bringing in family member to live with them may give rise to some issues.

The woman should resign, while they discuss how to undertake austerity measures to adjust to the family's downsized domestic economy. I believe in the traditional role of women as primary mothers and helpers.

Baba what's the austerity measure?
Hope Germany won't come in for bail out too..

Non should resign just yet...give it a couple o' months, save up and open a business. this is why entrepreneurship is the best(after saving up capital for a while of course) it gives you the opportunity to manage your time yourself, leave work, go for school run, cook and go back to work...sometimes, the kids could come around your office and be with you whilst you make your money...let them start saving and open a business...after a while non would want a "jacki" job anymore have tasted both waters

I will want to know if his village pple are pursuing him

That's the only way he will contemplate who should resign.

This is not an issue of ego.

They can both open a business for daddy to manage so he is not idle while mummy goes to the bakery to make bread.

All that matters is that the woman doesn't lose "submission and respect" because she's the baker.

Only God knows how he created the black man. This is not supposed to even be an issue.

Why is where so much poverty embedded in the mind of a black man

Mtcheeeeeew, was even thinking it's gonna be a story of a newly wedded couple working in the same organisation that have a policy of not allowing both the hubby ane the wife work with them.
And why must someone resign, there are other options they could deliberate on.

He should do the needful.. resign howbeit dishonorable.

It will hurt his ego but will benefit his family.

But he should be the finance minister or the federal government that determines how the money generated by Niger Delta that is his wife is spent.

Anything less than that is gnashing of teeth and wailing.
